She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 61 Ashes to dust, dust to dust

The causes and effects involved are really too huge.

"Zhuang has heard rumors that there are many gods and demons in Zhang River in the past, but I never thought it would be so troublesome."

Zhuang Mochen was a little frightened. Dan Yangzi was completely in another dimension and dealt him a devastating blow.

The only glimmer of hope in my heart seemed to be extinguished.

"To be honest, I never thought that Mr. Zhuang's ambition was to manage the Zhang River. I admire your desire to accomplish this great cause, but the difficulty may exceed your expectations. Please be cautious about this matter."

Danyangzi said slowly.

Originally, he was still trying to do Xie Lian a favor. If what Zhuang Mochen wanted to do wasn't too difficult, he would even be willing to lend a hand.
But now, we can only stay away from it.

"maybe."

Seeing Zhuang Mochen almost falling into despair, Xie Lian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"It's man-made."

“It seems impossible to control the Zhang River, but it is only an appearance. Before we do it, everything is still an unknown.

"It's too early for Mr. Zhuang to despair now."

These words cheered Zhuang Mochen up a little.

"Are you serious, Mr. Xie?"

Xie Lian chuckled and said.

"As I said, everything depends on human effort."

When Danyangzi saw Xie Lian speaking, he had some guesses in mind, fumbled around in his sleeves, and took out a pot of wine.

"Well, don't think about those unhappy things. Why don't you try some of the old herbal wine?"

This is real spiritual wine.

As soon as you get there, the fragrance of hundreds of herbs wafts out, making you feel refreshed.

Even the old locust tree seemed a little jealous and began to shake slightly.

“What a delicious wine.”

Zhuang Mochen had never seen such tempting wine before, so he picked it up and drank it in one gulp without thinking.

He just said "OK" twice and then fell drunk on the table.

"Xiao Zhuang, your father is drunk, help him go back and rest."

Zhuang Yan hurried over and helped Zhuang Mochen back.

After watching the father and son leave the yard, Xie Lian withdrew his gaze.

"Fellow Daoist, you got Mr. Zhuang drunk, so you must have something to say?"

"It can't be considered drunkenness. Mr. Zhuang has too much on his shoulders and has suffered too many blows today. If this continues, it will not be good for his health. This Hundred Herb Wine made by the Taoist priest is made from the essence of hundreds of herbs. Even if a mortal drinks it, it will be of great benefit. The only disadvantage is that you may be drunk for two or three days..."

"It's a good thing. Mr. Zhuang is too tense and squeezes his time every day. He really needs to relax a little. To be honest, the reason why I comforted him just now is because I am worried that Mr. Zhuang has been hit too hard and his last bit of energy has dissipated."

"Oh? Is that all? I thought that Taoist Xie was going to help Mr. Zhuang with river management."

Dan Yangzi looked at Xie Lian with a half-smile, as if to say, "I have already guessed what you are thinking."

This made Xie Lian startled and he could only smile bitterly.
"Xie would like to help, but you have to have the ability, right?"

"If it's Brother Xie, then everything is still uncertain."

"Master, you are too kind. You, like Master Lu, have a big misunderstanding of Mr. Xie."

"Haha, let's wait and see. Time will tell us the answer. But there is one thing that I want to say and remind you, fellow Taoist."

"Master, please speak." Danyangzi stood up with the wine jug and said with a sigh.

"For a person of your level, there may be nothing in this world that can stump you. But there is only one thing that you should pay attention to, and that is that you must not be contaminated by the fate of the secular dynasty. Even if you help Mr. Zhuang in the future, it is best not to have anything to do with the royal family. Haven't you seen that the emperor of Qian country sought immortality everywhere, but no one dared to pay attention to him?"

"The fate of the dynasty is really poisonous. How glorious was the Dao Sect during the previous Great Yu Kingdom? But it was because it was too deeply involved with the dynasty that a huge catastrophe befell it."

"The secular dynasty collapsed, and the Taoist sects in the world also paid a huge price...dust to dust, ashes to ashes."

Danyangzi was one of the eyewitnesses of that catastrophe, so when he talks about it now, it is naturally very true.

Upon hearing this, Xie Lian nodded secretly and at the same time solved a question.

"No wonder the Emperor of Qian Kingdom can't find the true immortal. This is because everyone thinks he is an evil star and wants to avoid him as much as possible!"

Just as Xie Lian was thinking, Danyangzi had already arrived under the old locust tree with a wine jug in hand.

After looking it up and down, he poured the crystal clear wine.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'd like to invite you to have a drink too!"

The wine made from herbs is mild in nature, and ordinary people will at most get drunk after drinking it, and it is not unbearable. However, they will not feel much benefit in a short period of time. However, in the next few decades, everyone will benefit from a glass of wine.

Although Zhuang Mochen lost his composure a little after drinking with Danyangzi this time, he also gained some real benefits.

But the biggest benefit obviously belongs to the old locust tree.

Almost a full pot of wine was poured, and the old locust tree absorbed it all without hesitation.

The spiritual energy in the wine is what it needs, but the most precious thing is actually the essence of the plants in the herbal wine. Although it may not be of the same root as it, it is of the same origin.

A pot of wine at least saves it from decades of practice.

This is the benefit of practicing cultivation. Those who do not practice cultivation, such as outstanding mortals like Zhuang Mochen, cannot fully utilize the opportunities even if they get them. However, the old locust tree can maximize the benefits.

Now it is naturally very happy, swaying its branches and leaves, conveying a sense of joy.

"No need to thank me. In a few months, the locust flowers will bloom. Just give me a few more kilograms!"

Dan Yangzi chuckled. He had been refining elixirs for years, so it was inevitable that he would come into contact with plant spirits.

He also has some affection for the old locust tree, a spiritual plant that has shed its demonic nature and has the potential to become a fairy root.

Seeing this, Xie Lian smiled.

"In another month, it will be the end of the year. After the New Year, it won't be long before the locust flowers bloom."

Speaking of the Chinese New Year, she has never celebrated it in another world.

I don’t know what it feels like.

After Zhuang Mochen left, Xie Lian and Dan Yangzi tacitly stopped talking about anything.

For them, time has never been a big problem. If necessary, they can chat for a year or two, so there is no need to rush.

Xie Lian invited Dan Yangzi to stay.

He did not refuse like the lame Taoist, but agreed directly.

This is the composure of a True Immortal. Even if he thinks he is not as good as Xie Lian, he will not feel too much psychological pressure.

After Danyangzi settled down, Xie Lian returned to his room, lit the oil lamp, and placed his fingers on the "Qingyu Miscellaneous Notes" several times, wanting to open it, but he suppressed his desire with difficulty.

"Once you start reading this book, you will never finish it. Don't worry, don't worry..."

I repeated myself a few times as if to hypnotize myself, and only then did the itchy feeling in my heart slowly subside.

Xie Lian planned to wait until Dan Yangzi left before he devoted himself to reading this precious book.
